1. it is difficult to search for it . Because infrared rays will never penetrate through earth atmosphere.
2. we are unaware of how it looks like and we only know it is red and will glow . A damaged star also looks like this.
3. Dust also makes is hard to detect Dyson spheres . So we will get confused between Dyson sphere and a star surrounded by dust.
Here is the answer to your question
Answer:
Acceleration, 
Explanation:
Given that,
Height from a ball falls the ground, h = 17.3 m
It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping.
We need to find the average acceleration the ball during the time it is in contact with the ground.
Firstly, find the velocity when it reached the ground. So,

u = initial velocity=0 m/s
a = acceleration=g

It is in negative direction, u = -18.41 m/s
Let a is average acceleration of the ball. Consider, v = and u = -18.41 m/s.

So, the average acceleration of the ball during the time it is in contact is
.
The difference between speed and velocity is that the speed is a scalar quantity which means that you can say that this object has a speed of x m/s but you don't have to define its direction
while the velocity is a vector quantity which means that you have to express the velocity by which it moves in x,y and z directions and its norm is the speed
